Not a great solution, but I guess a work around... Now inkscape is acting sluggish again when I paste new objects. I was planning t...

It's just duplicating the arrow head in the drop-down so I have this HUGE drop down of one arrow head type I need all of these arrows. I don't see how a tiny three-vertex object can cause inkscape to crash after a whi...

Now I have a pretty beefy mid range system. (Win10, i7-6700 @ 3.4 Ghz w/16GB Ram) but arrowheads seem to make my computer crawl. I'm re-drafting some aircraft carrier bluepints, and I need to delineate the spaces in the holds with little arrows that point to the center of the tank. It's all good, bu...
